Trump Spends NATO Summit Trying to Rebut Early US Intel Assessment About Strikes on Iran
- President Donald Trump and senior aides spent June 24, 2025, at the NATO summit in The Hague rebutting an early US intelligence report on Iran strikes.
- This response followed weekend US military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites that an early Pentagon report assessed as causing only limited setbacks to Iran's program.
- Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio disputed the report, citing moderate to severe damage at the Fordo facility and Israel's statement that the site was obliterated and inoperable.
- Trump said, "the operation was very, very successful," Hegseth called the mission "flawless," and a White House statement said combined strikes set back Iran's nuclear ambitions by many years.
- Talks between the US and Iran are scheduled for next week, while the NATO summit highlighted increased defense spending commitments and ongoing Euro-Atlantic security concerns.
